Idk what the culture is over there but it was just a bit funny to see the entire thread I was replying to just removed. Like that doesn’t happen here on kbin lmao. a bit of a culture clash there I guess.

I wonder if that’s the norm for lemmy and beehaw? Here on kbin basically nothing is removed it seems. at least for now.

    Could be a repost? I haven’t checked the community to be sure, but I know I’ve seen that same news link posted all over the place.

      actually I just found out what’s up. beehaw is completely defederating from lemmy instances. which probably explains why they removed the threads (made by lemmy users).

        Do you know why? That’s pretty wild. ETA: I see the answer in a Beehaw post below. Makes sense. I’ve never modded anything but I imagine federating with other popular instances with only 4 mods would be overwhelming.

          Yup. So beehaw is a pretty closed site with strict moderation. They’re trying to keep a particular tone and style for users and content (think safe space). Lemmy, in contrast, is open for sign-ups, and just had a ton of ex-redditors coming in with a very different culture, tone, way of interacting, etc. Since there’s so many Lemmy users now, beehaws moderators couldn’t keep up (there’s only four of them apparently), so they defederated.
